One thing I noticed when briefly trying a tribe last night - the event where your ruler gets married gives you either scaled gold (was 1.67) or non-scaled prestige (100). Makes that sort of a no-brainer given that prestige is important for tribal realms.

[Jacob]

Been playing the Charlemagne expansion, tooling around with the Norse.

You have three different options for raising free regiments using your counsellors... but they tend to fuck off with your gold if you don't do the right thing with them, and the right thing isn't quite clear.

I've had 500 dudes fuck off due to my "effeminate avoidance of battle" or some such, right in the middle of an epic (for the time and place) clash of thousands. Kind of ironic.

Also, it's really hard to go raiding foreigners when nobody in your cultural region has any shipbuilding capacity and the value of your actual neighbours tend to hover around 1.0.

... and I kind of wish there was a way to have some influence on the outcome of gavelkind inheritance.

[Agelastus]

So...

It's been a while since I played this, but has it always been the case that while Christians are bound to truces with Muslims (and suffer penalties if they break them) Muslims are not bound to truces with Christians or is this a bug of the current beta?

Or at least, this seems to be true of the Caliph I've loaded up as to check. I've got a truce with him but he can launch everything from a Jihad to a simple claim war without suffering a penalty against me.

-------------

And I've got a question about viceroys. Can they change the laws of the kingdom they're a viceroy of?

So... I think the answer to the zealous warriors is that you have to declare a holy war. The regular warriors require a war declaration, of any kind I think. As for the raiders, luckily there's an event in the early 800s that give all the Norse shipbuilding, so you can set off raiding. That doesn't help if you're playing the Saxons, but at least they'll tend to be right next to various Francia counties to plunder.

Been playing the Saxon's in the Charlemagne expansion, it's fun. Charlemagne declares war on me every couple of years and I have to run around until attrition gets him and then I can wipe out his armies.

Pretty easy to do with the Pagan attrition thing.  Man I hate that.

hey, he killed his brother, he deserves no mercy

and if it makes you feel any better I tried to take advantage of a Frankish civil was and got my ass kicked by my neighbour pagans when they ganged up on me

Am I the only one finding this typo ironic? 

[Sophie Scholl]

Stupid bug has been preventing me from playing.  Apparently the new early Eastern and Western portraits fuck everything up so all kinds of people are unselectable or viewable.  Argh.

[Valmy]

I am not mad at you I just hate that pagan attrition thing.  Oh it is fun when you are a pagan, you are practically invincible on defense.

It seems in the Charlemagne thing the defense thing doesn't kick in for a while. I've got the first fifty years of so conquering various defensive pagans as Germanic pagans... but it does kick in eventually.

One thing I don't like, is as Saxony when I die the game auto creates The kingdom of Pomerania and gives it to a son, so my kingdom gets cut in half.

That's the new gavelkind for you (though you only have yourself to blame for Pomerania). If a new Kingdom can be created for an heir, it does so. It does inspire a fair bit of fratricide immediately after succession, as you're usually your brother's heir.

Yeah, I think that's a good thing. Sounds like it covers up the gamey route of trying to control a lot of territory but only having one major title so you can keep everything in realm.
